If you are a homeowner, you may have occasional problems with unwelcome "guests" such as ants, cockroaches and mice. If you are hesitant to use commercial pesticides, here are some natural alternatives.
Ants: Sprinkle cinnamon, bay leaves, cayenne pepper or baby powder wherever they swarm, especially along windowsills and baseboards.
Cockroaches: Mix equal parts of baking soda and powdered sugar and sprinkle it in problem areas.
Mice: Dip cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them in problem areas. Used kitty litter is another repellent, though it may repel humans as well!
Mosquitoes & Fruit Flies: Mix 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with 2 tablespoons of water and a squirt of dishwashing liquid. Leave it out where they tend to swarm.
Do you have any other natural remedies you can recommend?

Here is a great site that we use:

This website gave Ryan some great ideas for removing a yellow jacket nest that was built in the house. A combination of Diatomaceous Earth and a vacuum... What I thought was just an experiment was a successful solution.
